one of the top economic advisers for presidential contender john mccain. we absolutely cannot use the debt ceiling limit to argue about what goes in the budget. he says you cannot hold the debt ceiling hostage because you cannot shoot the hostage. the hostages be the american economy. that is what would happen. if we default on our obligations because of failing to raise the debt ceiling, we are going to suffer a further downgrade of the united states credit worthiness. interest rates will go up. think about what happens to our economy when interest rates go up. it means that companies have a harder time investing in capital equipment. business people have a harder time planning for the future. it would take a fragile recovery and jeopardize it. host: the next fight which president obama said he is open to talking about, more spending cuts and more tax revenue has to be on the table during those talks. let's say it doesn't happen on debt ceiling. where would you agree to spending cuts on the medicare and social security? guest: they are way down on the lis

senator john mccain from arizona, he disappeared from the issue a little bit so he could run for president. he's back. he's part of some of the negotiations that they're having. we also have senator jeff blake, the new senator from arizona, who has been involved on the issue for a long time. he actually sponsored a bill with a noted liberal, an immigration advocate, louis gutierrez, back when he was in the house. then we have new people. marco rubio, senator from florida, obviously a presidential hopeful, has been involved in the issue. a lot behalf he has to say is about the tone that republicans take. i don't think he's going to be involved in the nuts and bolts, because it's partly because of his presidential ambitions. but he's tried to come up with a middle-ground way, maybe not amnesty, but some sort of legalization, not citizenship. it's not clear how it would work. he speaks very eloquently about this. we'll have to see how that plays out. then there are new people. there's the senator from texas, newly elect senator. he's very conservative. and in order to actually move something
